Team-BHP's 2016 Facelift: A new mobile website

[GTO]

Team,

Absolutely thrilled to end 2016 on a high note by releasing our sexy new mobile website. The homepage, hot threads index, news section, advice, about us & more have been overhauled. Check out www.Team-BHP.com on your smartphone’s browser .

Team-BHP’s family look (including our favourite black & red colours) has of course been retained. A big thanks to Rehaan, and to the design & development team of Nihal, Konark & Sachin.

As always, feedback is welcome .

Wish you & your family a fab 2017.

Being a windows phone user, I use the mobile website of T-bhp as the app versions are available only for android and apple users.

Expecting this facelift to further enhance the experience of using T-bhp in smartphones (especially for windows users like me)

Wow! This is really clean and no-nonsense look. Liked it a lot. Thanks Rehaan and the entire development team for this revamped version. This is perfect new year gift for we members and readers of TBHP!

Wish that TeamBHP keeps scaling new heights every year!

Regards,
Saket.

Wow. This is great news. I always used to struggle reading t-bhp on my mobile devices. This is just going to make my life so much easier.

This is wonderful and provides a very refreshing look to the mobile site. Well done to the entire team behind this. Keep it up guys!

Kudos to the design team. Very simple and neat interface.
But if I go to any of the threads, it opens in the desktop mode instead of the mobile view.

I use an Android and still access only the mobile website (not app) .

It shouldn't. Have you manually changed the preferred skin on the forum? Please select 'BHP Smartphone' from the drop-down menu on the bottom left.

Thanks GTO, I never knew such a feature existed all these years. Pardon my ignorance.

Just saw the enhanced mobile website. Looks much better. I use the Team-bhp mobile app in IOS and on my laptop. I never have the same satisfaction in the app as in laptop.

This mobile website is so near the desktop experience. I think from now on I will use the mobile website and not the app.

Thanks for the update. I didn't change the preferred skin. However, after your post, I cleared the cache in the Chrome browser in my iPhone and re-tried. It now opens the threads in mobile view. Something to do with ios, I guess! 😀
Now wishing for this update to trickle into ios.

Kudos to the entire team. I use Windows phone (Lumia 730 - Windows 10) and am able to get the mobile website, but if I click "classifieds & price check" it goes to the desktop site. Other threads are opening in the mobile format.

Wow! A great gift for all Team-BHPians for the new year. It truly has a clean look and well spaced out text and images. Great job folks!

The best part is that there is no nagging advertisement window popping up at the corner like in the regular desktop site. Kudos!

Big shout out to Mr Parekh and other support team. This indeed will be another Watershed movement in team bhp's history. The overall look and the UI looks brilliant. The android app didn't drew much interest from me, but this is incredibly amazing.
Wish you a very successful new year in all your endeavors

Looks beautiful!
One minor issue I found, not sure if it concerns my phone browser since I tried doing the action even in the incognito tab, where there is no question of cache et al.
The deal is, when I go to the home page from any thread (ie. inside -> out) there is a slight flicker of the old magnified desktop site, for less than a quarter of a second. Check the image below.

It seems you are using bootstrap for making the site responsive to mobile phone. If so, just put the bootstrap script higher than everything else(will load early/faster) in the HTML file. It seems it is taking a while to recognise the mobile browser or some thing else(carousel issue), hence the delay.

If you ain't using bootstrap/bootstrap in the HTML file, ignore my comments.

Check the screenshot, I somehow managed to take a screenshot in that less than quarter second window after trying for 10 mins.

Looks good. However, the homepage is not loading on UC Browser as some ad covers it. Please look into this. Thanks!
